"October is nature's funeral month. Nature glories in death more than in life. The month of departure
is more beautiful than the month of coming - October than May. Every green thing loves to
die in bright colors."

Day Two Hundred Ninety 2011
Boo!
B is for broomsticks witches to fly,
O is outrageous spooks that go by,
O is for orange pumpkins so bright,
These are the signs of a Halloween night.

Day Two Hundred Eighty Nine 2011
Now Autumn's fire burns slowly along the woods. And day by day the dead leaves fall and melt.

Presidential Candidate Herman Cain Stops in Cookeville, Tennessee, For A Rally At Tennessee Technological University
Neil and I took advantage of a rare opportunity this morning to hear a presidential candidate speak in person. Mr. Herman Cain was invited to speak by Tennessee Technological University’s chapter of College Republicans here in Cookeville, Tennessee. Mr. Cain stood on the steps of Derryberry Hall and spoke for about forty-five minutes to a pretty good sized crowd. He has a deep commanding voice and a ready smile and he seems like a genuinely decent man who cares about his country. I haven’t paid much attention to the recent conservative candidate’s debates, but I’ve formed opinions already about who I like and don’t like. Mr. Cain, who is a business man and not a politician and who, by the way, is very charming and intelligent, said everything a conservative wants to hear. I liked what he had to say and I liked him very much. I’m thankful we had this opportunity to see and hear him in person, and I plan to follow his campaign more closely in the coming weeks. I wish him a lot of luck and safe travels. Election day is still so far away.

It was a beautiful day to be sitting outside on the front porch, listening to the wind play the wind chimes and blow through the trees. Peaceful. Happy TGIF, everyone!
